Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 52 ratings
  • Great Analysis

    I learned so much inside scoop this week from Mike and Alex. They offered a no holds barred observation of what is wrong with the Panthers. Great insight that that average fan doesn’t have.

    Really enjoy reading their stories and hearing their viewpoints!

  • Agree with LeoJM2

    Other reviewer LeoJM2 hit the nail on the head. Please stick to football, not your relationship with each other.

  • Just ok

    Would be better if you two would stop constantly sucking each other’s D about how funny and clever you think the other is. News flash: You’re both neither funny nor clever. But you give good football insight. So stick to that, please.

  • Can’t hear Mike. Alex is kinda low too. Mike is inaudible.
